WordPress 2.6.1 Beta 1 Launches

WordPress just released WordPress version 2.6.1 Beta 1. The trend is to release a dot one release about a month after a dot zero release. Typically a WordPress dot one release is focused on bug fixes from the previous version. This is not a critical update for any high risk vulnerabilities.

A couple of the more interesting bug fixes are:

  • Allow disabling password reset per-user.
  • Query functions now allow a comma-separated list of post_status values.
  • Several more link generation bits are made SSL-aware.
  • Advertise the Atom 1.0 feed in the default theme.
  • Atom API uses the newer WP authentication functions.
  • Fix for an object caching bug in plugin updates.
